Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

There has been a recent influx of new followers on this account.

So I added a silly Easter egg to my site: everyone who follows this account receives a little generated creature inspired by Space Invaders :)!

Hope you like your invader.

Why is Unreal taking 10 minutes to compile and launch isn't this engine supposed to be better than Godot which can be downloaded and launch a project in the same amount of time ?

Garbage !!!

Got access to a ton of streaming services but the two that have Casino Royale have all Bond films behind an additional paywall. What the actual fuck.

A while ago they were all available without the paywall by the way.

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop?

I'll say more later, but I no longer have a job. I'm looking for work, as are *so* many of my amazing colleagues. I have lots of ideas and things I'd like to write. I'm really in shock.

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating
" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift. At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely. Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math. Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

I expect to be getting a lot of emails like this soon. This one is from @s.ly and @keyboard.io about the tariffs.

Such a pointless destruction of US small businesses.
To our US customers: Yesterday, the Trump Administration announced that they will be ending the de minimis exemption for all shipments from Hong Kong and China on May 2. They also raised the minimum import tax on products made in China or Hong Kong to 54% of the sale price. While we design our keyboards in the US, like most consumer electronics companies we manufacture our products in southern China. These new rules will drastically increase how much it costs you to buy our products. (1) If you've been considering buying anything we make, now is the time. According to the new policy, you will owe a 54% import tax on any package from Keyboardio that arrives after May 1. Once the de minimis rule is gone, no sale we can offer will ever make the Model 100 or Atreus as inexpensive as it is today. Starting in May, US customers will be charged $188 in new taxes (tariffs) on a Model 100 + additional customs clearance fees. The new US taxes on the Atreus will be $80 + additional customs clearance fees. We're really proud of these keyboards—we designed them to be the most comfortable tools to help you be productive, and to help you enjoy the experience of typing. We think they're worth the investment. We don't think a 54% tax is reasonable.
